  waste so we can use these materials again.

  in trash bins could be recycled.

• Recycling at Home

We use Earths resources to make products.
Resources are things like water, trees, and
minerals. We use resources to make paper,
plastic, glass, and many other things.
Conservation means not wasting resources. All
conservation could be described using the three
Rs Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

The three Rs

• Reducing is using fewer resources. The less we
  use the less we throw away. Reducing the amount
  of power, water and products you use conserves
  resources. Remember, paper products come from
  trees. If we use fewer paper towels or notebook
  paper we will buy less. Therefore, fewer trees
  will be cut down and made into products.
• Reusing is when we use things more than once.
  Using things more than once, consumes fewer
  resources. Reusing materials is not only cheaper,
  it is also eco-friendly.
• Recycling is turning waste into new things.
  Glass, metal, and plastic are recyclable. In an
  effort to conserve resources, many materials are
  recycled.

Using recycled materials in crafts is a great way
to create while using items that we have at home.
These materials includes anything from old
plastic toys and vehicle tires to scraps of cloth
and building supplies. Artists who make recycled
art take those materials and make them into
something new.
